Just today I was served divorce papers and a domestic violence petition. My wife and I have a little 4 yr old boy. In the petition, she put several things that weren't true, and i was told by the officer delivering it that she's allowed to do that, even if it's not true, to get the petition filed. We have been married 5+ years and together for 10+ years, but seperated for several months now. We have even gone out, had fun, traveled together, etc, in the past few months, and now she files an EMERGENCY petition against me keeping me away from her and my son, and some of the things she put in it are false, but some are true, but they happened so long ago (1 yr+) that I don't even remember most of them. There is only 1 thing in there about our son, and it says that I smacked him in the mouth and when I did it bruised him (about 1 1/2 years ago). I remember open hand smacking his lips for backtalk, but don't recall a bruise. I felt so bad after it that I never did it again. Other than that it's a bunch of stuff she says I did to her. My question is when we meet at the court in a few days over this, what are the chances that they will believe her, over me. Especially when anything I have done to her was that long ago. I have been trying for almost a year now, since the first time she left me, to be nice to her and make her love me all over again, and I thought it was working until about 2 weeks ago when she started acting weird to me. Or better yet, I don't care if they believe her about what I did to her, as long as it doesn't affect seeing my son. I really do care, but don't see what I may or may have not done to her relates to me seeing my son. He means the world to me and I do everything I can to watch out for him, yet she put in the papers that she only wants me to have supervised visitation at the YWCA (his daycare). I don't care if I ever talk to her again as long as I get to see my son and we can be civil when he is present. Sorry for the ramble, but please, HELP!
